As a project manager, your job is to see the entire project reach 100% completion. To get there, you’ll need strategic, expert communication that generates alignment on your project right from the beginning. What do you need to make that happen? A project roadmap template is the best tool available to help you do exactly that. The project roadmap probably won’t make it on the cool-kid list of the most popular project management charts.

“Expect the best but prepare for the worst” is more than a cliché; it's solid operational advice. And that’s why the incident management software you choose will spell the difference between things running smoothly after a hiccup, or you scrambling to get everything back together after it goes down in flames. Time, money, effort, and resources should be spent where they belong: keeping things chugging along and improving constantly.

Gone are the days when email was the main channel of digital communication. In 2022, messaging apps are the way we all communicate in our personal and professional lives. We use WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Viber, and others to communicate with friends and family. At work, we rely on platforms such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Rocket.Chat. However, some of these messaging platforms have one big disadvantage compared to email - the lack of interoperability (or cross-platform messaging).

As the age-old adage states: Time is money. That saying is never more true than when thinking about employees and the companies that pay them for their time, effort, and skill. Buddy Punch compiled a list of notable milestones in employee time-tracking history by researching numerous sources, including Google’s patents database, historical newspaper reports, and more.

Do you know how to improve project transparency? ‍ If you are trying to unlock higher levels of team productivity, you need to consider project transparency.

Sometimes, it’s impossible to predict what information stakeholders will need to access. ‍

We humans are forgetful creatures. Hopping from one crisis to the next, we forget the staggering lengths we’ve been through to get where we are. We forget the chaos, and the uncertainty. Cast your mind back to March 2020 – if you haven’t blocked it all out, that is. The UK, USA, and most other countries around the world had either entered or were entering a national lockdown, in response to Covid-19.

Do you manage a team that has deadlines? Are you someone who has to complete business tasks on a schedule? If you answered “yes” to either, you likely already know the pain of meeting deadlines. Somehow it hardly seems to matter how much time a task or project is given. As any deadline nears, we humans seem extremely adept at missing them or at least coming close to doing so.

There is a common debate about whether or not remote teams are more productive than employees working together in a traditional office setting. Based on a few recent studies, this debate might be put to rest once and for all. According to Apollo Technical, people who work from home are 47% more productive. Although this statistic is quite impressive, it does not mean productivity comes easy for every remote team.

In March 2020, many employees were sent home due to COVID-19. Two years later, reintegrating employees and teams after working from home for an extended period will be challenging for leaders and internal communications. Hundreds (or thousands) of employees may be coming back the same week. You also might have hundreds of employees hired during the pandemic and have never been to the office.
